HOW ADAMS OSHOMOLE TURNED R-APC INTO THE NEW BEAUTIFUL BRIDE OF NIGERIAN POLITICS

Image may contain: 1 person, standing
We must learn to respect our present and former offices. A former State governor must learn to talk with decorum and sense of responsibility. Threatening opposition parties with federal might should not be part of democratic processes. If it was done in the past then it should be corrected. Adam Oshomole always exhibits the character traits of a thug or someone who grew up among area boys.

His outburst are never well thought out and no finesse. From the way he has carried on internally within his party, the APC, it is as if he has personal quarrels with the immediate past chairman, Odigie Oyegun. He is in a hurry to undo Oyegun’s actions.

He is showing that he is not matured in character. People like him always eat their words when reality downs on them. Over a week ago Adams Oshiomhole, the National Chairman of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), assured President Muhammadu Buhari that the party will be victorious in 2019 without a splinter group in the party, Reformed All Progressives Congress (R-APC).

But currently Oshiomhole, Bola Tinubu his godfather and even President Buhari are going on their knees begging R-APC members not to leave the party. Pride they say goes before a fall. As Sunny Areh has noted, the man who says he will not have sleepless nights over R-APC is busy dangling poisoned carrots at people he derided yesterday. His mosquito waka will be fruitless, his mission stillbirth. Adams the sham visits Galadima to beg at night.

OBOREVWORI: How Not To Glorify A 'One Chance' Governor - By Zik Gbemre

It is appalling how, in desperation to sustain its thieving hegemony over the Delta State Government since 1999, the Delta PDP had the audacity to impose the weakest, most uninformed contender, a local champion, as Governor over a state replete with accomplished men and women of immense capacity. Given this unenviable privilege, one would have expected the fortunate placeholder governor, Sheriff Oborevwori—whose only election campaign manifesto was pledging to improve on the failed leadership of Ifeanyi Okowa, his predecessor—to engage creative minds and individuals of proven integrity to assist him in making a difference. Rather than doing the needful, Oborevwori has worsened matters by electing to engage the same spent leaders, deadwood, and gluttons that have gained prominence in running the state down over successive administrations. The result has been a government of mediocre officeholders competing to run the state for their pockets at the detriment of the populace, under a gove...

THE ENDURING LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP: Chief James Ibori Celebrated for His Impact on Delta State

On Friday, May 31st, during the funeral service for the Late Asagba of Asaba, the essence of true leadership was vividly displayed. The service featured the introduction of various dignitaries, including Senator George Akume, Secretary to the Government of the Federation who represented President Bola Tinubu, Governor Sheriff Oborevwori, Governor Godwin Obaseki, and Former Governor Ifeanyi Okowa. As each dignitary was introduced, the church remained silent. However, the atmosphere dramatically changed when the name of Former Governor James Ibori was announced; the congregation erupted in wide jubilation and applause. This reaction was so profound that even Senator George Akume and Governor Obaseki could not hide their astonishment. The enthusiastic reception for Chief James Ibori during this solemn occasion highlighted his enduring legacy among the people of Delta State. Despite having left office seventeen years ago, he continues to be celebrated whenever he attends public functions i...
